Rameshan said Aamir Ansari of Machhali Patti Staff Colony under Putki police station area was abducted on May 24, and the SP district president had kept the boy in his car and allegedly demanded Rs 80,000 from the victim’s family. “The police have seized Mansaf Alam's car used in the abduction and three mobile phones of the accused. Husna Bano’s family had a dispute with his neighbour Musrat Parveen’s family. Bano along with her son Danish Raja had hatched a conspiracy to teach a lesson to Parveen and kidnapped her son Aamir on May 24.”
Parveen lodged an FIR in Putki police station on May 25 suspecting the involvement of Husna Bano and her son.
